A Review of Corrosion and Protection of Steel in Concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the major durability challenges which leads to a reduction in the design life of reinforced concrete. Due to an increasing demand for longer service lives of infrastructure (typically 100-120 years) and the high cost ...
